Sarah Palmer: Difference between revisions
Her locker's stenciling in the Initiation preview is almost certainly an error. There's no way she would go from a Marine E-3 to a Spartan O-5 - that's nine grades and a brand new chain of command - within four years.

*Palmer's in-game model has copper brown hair; she is also shown with this hair color in ''Halo: Spartan Assault'''s motion comic-style cutscenes. However, she is depicted with much darker hair in the campaign's prerendered [[Epilogue|epilogue cutscene]], in ''Spartan Ops''<nowiki>'</nowiki> cinematics, and in the ''Halo: Initiation'' comic series. While she presumably dyed her hair after the events of the campaign, her "talking head" vignettes during ''Spartan Ops'' missions use her in-game model; as such, she is shown with the reddish hair she sports in the campaign, though the lighting of her video transmissions makes this difficult to notice. | *Palmer's in-game model has copper brown hair; she is also shown with this hair color in ''Halo: Spartan Assault'''s motion comic-style cutscenes.

*In Dark Horse Comics' digital preview<!--Let's wait for the issue to come out before changing the wording here.--> for Issue #1 of ''Halo: Initiation'', then-ODST Palmer's locker is erroneously stenciled "[[Lance Corporal|L CPL]] PALMER". She was actually a [[Second Lieutenant|second]] or [[First Lieutenant|first lieutenant]] at the time. | |||
